IMPROVEMENT 'IN SAW-BUCKS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,556, dated June l5,1875; application filed March 30, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, It. G. HAYTON and C. A. HURLBURT, of Ypsilanti, inthe county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Saw-Bucks; and we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form part of this specification.

The nature of our invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a saw-buck, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invent-ionappertains to make and use the same, we Will now proceed to describe itsconstruct-ion andoperation, referring to the annexed dra-wing, whichrepresents a cross-section of our saw-buck.

Each side of our saw-buck is colnposed of an ordinary iron cross, A,such as are used for connecting gas-pipe, to make the rest for the stickof wood upon the saw-buck. This cross consists of a piece of iron,hollow at all the four ends, with or without interior screw threads.Into each of these ends is screwed or driven an arm, B, to complete theside of the saw-buck. The arms B B may be made of Wood or metal, and ifmade of metal we prefer to make them of hollow tubing, as shown in thedrawing. On the arms, which form the legs of the saw-buck, are placedordinary T-jonts C, for the attachment of the foot-brace D. TheseT-joints and foot-brace need only be used on one side of the saw-buck.On the other side a rod or brace, E, may be simply screwed into thelegs, it' so desired.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the cross A, arms B, T-joints C, and foot-brace D.all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our own we aix oursignatures in presence of two witnesses.
